Let's Hope He Got A Waiver From The Tour VP Of Fines: Camilo To Bare All
/Karen Crouse reports on Camilo Villegas posing nude for ESPN The Magazine:
“It was uncomfortable,” Villegas said. “Getting naked in front of a camera is not what I do for a living. In those moments when it was really awkward, I kept thinking I’ve worked really hard to accomplish these results, and that helped me to relax.”
Clarke Jones, an IMG agent who works with Villegas and was at the shoot, said Villegas was the one who first suggested he might be a good fit for the magazine’s Body Issue.
“Let’s try to work it out,” Jones recalled him saying. He added: “I think everyone in the golf world is kind of reserving judgment until they see, is it risqué or is it fitness-oriented? I think people are going to be impressed.”
Meanwhile Christina Kim, who posed in last year's issue, was asked what she thought.
“The difference is I don’t think there’s a crotchety old reporter saying something negative about Camilo,” Kim said in a telephone interview. She added: “The presumption when a man poses for something like that is it’s about fitness and athleticism, which Camilo embodies. When women do it, the perception is different. People don’t think about it in terms of we’re showing muscle and brawn and strength.”
Well we all have our perceptions of what constitutes muscle, brawn and strength!
